Well no injuries for our players. A friggin miracle!

 

[BlackDuckSaint]

I agree whole heartedly that Frizzell was quiet, did a lot of defence but made hardly any runs.

 

[saintsarealive1]

My 2 cents...

Tedesco....amazing

Fifita....machine

Frizell...quiet

Dugan at centre....shithouse.

Great assessment.
Morris played well too.
Fritz probably did his job.
The toads need Slater FB,
Boyd wing, drop Nate Myles...too predictable and ageing, also they need to bring probably 2 up and coming younger players into the team as well as the above changes.
Need JT too.
Disappointed in our winger from the roosters.. whats his name?

 

[saintsarealive1]

PS.
Woods?...still not convinced.
Woods vs Fifita LMAO.

 

[Life's Good]

Dugan was Dugan tonight. That is all.

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

Fifita the Metre Eater!!!!! great game.
Tedessco played his best game of the year.
He was inch perfect when he needed to be on our backline.
Thought Hayne was going to knock himself off after he scored the try.
Maloney and the Cronulla connection made a big difference.

Only when Pearce came off did l think we could win it.
Pearce is the McCrone of SOO.

Playing 13 is totally different to playing edge especially at that level.
13's today are more like 8 & 10 so not surprised TF wasn't his usual damaging self.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Hopefully our two players will try to make up for it on Saturday.

Dugan will go better at FB

Ferguson

Ohh yeah, thanks R&W

 

[Crush]

Cronulla looked very good tonight. They will be hard to beat this year. Back to back is well on the cards.....

 

[Minh]

Tedesco was made for Origin, big call only two games in but he's the best fullback NSW have ever had and we've had some good ones in Jack, Mullins and Minichello.....Seems to love the big stage and a player very similar to a young Billy Slater...scores tries and saves them too

Agree , they are well served .... and their main players seem to have stepped up a notch ....

 

[dragonssamy61]

Very average / quiet game so far from duges. His mind looks totally elsewhere.

Returnng from a fractured jaw, and the drama of leaving Saints i think has mentally affected him.

He will recover over the next
2 weeks

Agree with you but duges had a fractured cheek bone not jaw.

 

[Gareth67]

Great defence by the Duges and if Ferguson had a bit more grey matter , there could had been 1 or 2 extra tries posted . Thought Woods done his job in defence , however was disappointed with his soft running .

Fifita showed him how to do it . ( if he could manage to control his weight , the man would truly be potent ) And Hayne , well he really show his true worth in tonight's match , a great showing by him .

All in all , an excellent performance by the New South Welshmen and also kudos to Laurie Daley for using the teams potential to its maximum .

 

[saintsarealive1]

Oh yeah thats right, sorry.
Cheers

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Dugan very average at centre if you ask me. Ineffective in attack anyway.

QLD dirty as usual, eye gouges and shoulders to heads...

GO BLUES!!

Yep Myles dirtiest player going around and has been for years.....Napa was doing his usual head hunting and Maguire shouldbe cited for his stiff arm to the side of Fafitas head

Agree Minh Tedescos made for Origin....particularly his effort tonite in front of a very pro Qld crowd......reads the game well and covers the ground very quickly....he will be around for a long long time

 

[This Year?]

Friz was awesome as usual and Dugan was terrible.

The problem is with Dugan is:
He's too slow to be a winger.
He doesn't pass at centre so the winger is wasted.

I don't think he should be picked for game 2.

 

[Reddragon]

Thought Gagai was good for Qld. Can we still get him?
Not sure what Qld was thinking picking Nat Miles, he is past it.n
